Rock Flower Anemone

Rock Flower Anemone - Care Requirements

Rock Flower Anemone is a rock flower anemone suited to a saltwater reef aquarium. This WYSIWYG anemone offers a distinct live-animal focal point for reef keepers who can provide a secure resting place and stable conditions. It is best introduced with patience while it chooses and settles into a suitable location.

This is a WYSIWYG coral, meaning the coral shown in the photo is the exact piece you will receive.

Quick Care Summary

• Lighting: Low to moderate lighting
• Flow: Low to moderate indirect flow
• Placement: Lower rock crevice or sand-and-rock edge
• Temperament: Semi-aggressive and capable of moving
• Care Level: Beginner to Moderate

Lighting

Provide low to moderate lighting. Begin with gentler exposure after introduction, then observe its response as it settles and attaches.

Flow

Use low to moderate indirect flow. Avoid strong direct flow, which can prevent the anemone from remaining comfortably attached.

Placement

Place it at a lower rock crevice or along a sand-and-rock edge. Allow it time to secure its foot, and expect that it may move while selecting its preferred spot.

Temperament

Give it space from nearby animals because it is semi-aggressive. Its ability to move means neighboring corals and other sessile livestock should not be positioned too closely.

Feeding

Feeding is optional; occasional small meaty foods may be offered. Keep portions modest and avoid disturbing the foot during feeding.

General Care

Maintain stable salinity and temperature, and protect the foot from damage during placement or relocation. Observe attachment and positioning after introduction rather than repeatedly moving it. A secure foot and an appropriate flow pattern support long-term settling.

Give it a secure location and time to settle into the reef.
